At about 10:42 a.m. on
Aug. 22, police received a report of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle on Main Street in front of Flowers Galore and More, Butler Police Lt. Michael Moeller said.

The man, later identified as John Anderson, was reported as unconscious and bleeding from the head, Moeller said.

A box truck was stopped, facing west on Main Street, when Anderson walked from behind the truck and was hit by a 2013 Honda Civic traveling east on Main Street, Moeller said.

Moeller said witness statements indicated the driver didn't appear to be
speeding or driving improperly. Witnesses told police Anderson was
"looking down as he was walking across the street," Moeller said.

Anderson was transported to Morristown Medical Center by the Tri-Boro First Aid Squad, where he is currently listed in critical condition, Moeller said.

The accident is still under investigation, and no charges have been filed against the 20-year-old female who was driving the Honda Civic, Moeller said.
